Set in the wilds of suburban New Jersey, KIMBERLY AKIMBO is a hilarious and heartrending play about a teenager with a rare condition causing her body to age faster than it should.
When she and her family flee Secaucus under dubious circumstances, Kimberly is forced to reevaluate her life while contending with a hypochondriac mother, a rarely sober father, a scam-artist aunt, her own mortality and, most terrifying of all, the possibility of first love.
Cast List:
Kimberly – Kirsten Harris
Pattie – Anthea Moritt
Buddy – Max Wallace
Debra – Allyson Leet

CLT Sponsors a Playwriting Initiative
Call for Submissions
Have you got a plot outline lurking at the back of your mind? Is it set in the Comox Valley? Could it be developed into a one act play? If so, then Courtenay Little Theatre has a challenge for you!
The local theatre group is sponsoring a one act play writing initiative and wants to hear from you. ”It is very simple and easy,” says Shari Jakubiec, club president. “There are three steps. First write a one-two page outline and submit it for evaluation. Second develop the script. Third workshop the script and perform the play with a director and a cast.”
The outline is due by September 15 so you need to get those creative juices flowing! The next steps give more time for exploration and development. If your script is chosen, the plan is to perform it in the new Studio at the Views in the old St. Joe’s hospital building. This is an intimate theatre space that Courtenay Little Theatre will be using for small performances for the foreseeable future.
Courtenay Little Theatre (CLT) invites aspiring and seasoned playwrights to help bring the diverse stories of the Comox Valley to life on stage. This initiative supports the development and production of original one-act plays (20–40 minutes) inspired by the people, histories, and present-day realities of our region. It does not have to be historical but does need to be set in the Comox Valley.
We’re looking for plays that:
Tell a story from any era of the Comox Valley – pre-contact, settler history, or contemporary life or be a fictional piece based in the Valley
Explore historical figures or events (e.g., Ginger Goodwin & BC’s first general strike)
Reflect the lived experiences of our communities today, including Indigenous communities
Unearth the untold or unheard stories in our midst.
Selected works will be workshopped and produced at CLT’s “Studio at the Views” with simple staging and production support.
KEY DATES:
• Expressions of Interest Due: September 15, 2025
(1–2 pages outlining your idea, characters, setting, and approach)
• Selection of Proposals to proceed to full scripts, and Feedback: by November 1, 2025
• Invited Full Scripts Due: January 31, 2026
• Workshop Period: March–May 2026
• Performances: Fall 2026
Submission Guidelines:
Email your expression of interest to: info@courtenaylittletheatre.com – Please put “Submission for Tales” in the subject line. Include:
A brief plot summary of your proposed play
Key characters and setting
Why this story matters to you and to the Comox Valley
Your experience level (first-time writers welcome!)
CLT encourages new playwrights to apply. A selection committee will provide feedback and support through the development process, including potential dramaturgical assistance and pairing with a director.
Let’s tell our stories — together

Join Dame Nanny Hugwell – the palace’s loudest, proudest and most overprotective nanny/housekeeper as she juggles raising the spirited Princess Aurora and her own gentle son Buttons along with her rambunctious triplets. It’s a joyous celebration at the palace until the uninvited and fabulously fierce Maleficent crashes the party and placesa wicked curse on baby Aurora. On her 16th birthday she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall into an eternal sleep! Thankfully, the three slightly scatterbrained but well-meaning fairies, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather soften the curse, and Aurora is hidden away in the forest under the watchful eye of Nanny Hugwell and Buttons. Years later, as Aurora blossoms into a brave young woman and Buttons tries and fails to keep up with Royal life, the handsome and kind-hearted Prince Stephan stumbles into their lives. But Maleficent along with her side kick Diablo hasn’t finished her wicked games. With true love, mistaken identities, outrageous costumes, catchy songs, magical mayhem, and possibly a dragon that might just need a hug….will the prince break the curse or will Maleficent have the last laugh! Packed with laughs, love and lashings of panto fun, Sleeping Beauty is the magical adventure the whole family will love ——Oh yes you will!
